Go bindings

[mzimmerman]

Any bindings exist for Go already? :) Would certainly make my use case easier. I'd like to upgrade my code from using cwiid.

The bindings exists for python and perl. However, the binding is done using swig (http://www.swig.org/). Swig manages several binding including the go language. So, it means that 99% of the work is done.

If you check https://github.com/dvdhrm/xwiimote-bindings, you'll see that custom lines for perl and python is about 10 lines each.

Awesome, thanks for the response.

I've found an easier/more native way though even. Using a short bash script and an xorg module with custom key configs. Now I just have to figure out how to do the power conservation part... (turn off the wiimote when no key presses have occurred in X time.)

The following script lets me use bluetoothctl to automagically connect the wiimote whenever it's initiated (after successful manual pairing) Citation

#!/bin/sh

while true
do
        echo "looping"
        echo -e "power on\nconnect 00:1E:35:6E:8D:41\nquit" | bluetoothctl
        sleep 3
done

        Option "MapLeft" "KEY_LEFT"
        Option "MapRight" "KEY_RIGHT"
        Option "MapDown" "KEY_DOWN"
        Option "MapUp" "KEY_UP"
        Option "MapA" "KEY_ENTER"
        Option "MapB" "KEY_Z"
        Option "MapPlus" "KEY_P"
        Option "MapMinus" "KEY_DEL"
        Option "MapHome" "KEY_ESC"
        Option "MapOne" "KEY_I"
        Option "MapTwo" "KEY_M"
